Answer 1

This is from my grandmothers cookbook and these cookies are very good and pretty easy.
Polish Tea cakes (Ciastka z Konserwa)
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup sugar
1 egg yolk, slightly beaten
1 cup of flour
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1/2 teaspoon of vanilla (not imitation)
1/2 cup of finely chopped nuts (whatever you prefer)
Cream butter and sugar until light. Add egg yolk, mix well. Add flour sifted with salt. Mix. Roll dough in small balls. dip into unbeaten egg whites and roll in the finely chopped nuts. Place on buttered baking sheet and press down in the center with your thumb. Bake at 325 degree oven for 5 minutes. Remove and press down again with thumb and return to oven for about 10-15 minutes. Remove from oven and fill indentation with preserves while still warm, or you could place a Hershey's chocolate kiss in the middle. Good luck and God bless
